And a total of $12 million since 2009. I'm sure Abbotsford would like the Comets in that building, but I think they're tied to Utica for five years. Really not sure what Abbotsford is going to do, because I have my doubts about the area supporting another WHL team.

I think the bay Canucks would draw in Abbotsford. It would also be easier for the Canucks to scout the team. Travel would be longer and more costly. I think it would be a good move. Not sure what their contract status with Utica is and if they gave any out clauses.

The AHL is an east coast league. The closest team to Abbotsford is in Iowa for fuck sakes. The Comets would make sense in the Lower Mainland if there was any semblance of a western presence, which there isn't.
